Ceramic mugs are generally safe. Some glazes used in ceramics can leach metals into liquids used in them: responsible makers test the glazes used on items intended for food use before selling them. It is possible for porous ceramics to harbor bacteria, especially if the glaze is cracked or crazed, but there is little risk if the item is washed before use, and is not used for storage.

"Ceramic" is a type of material, not a specific material. Most coffee mugs are ceramic, and people don't seem to be keeling over left and right from ceramic-coffee-mug syndrome, so in general yes. However, some glazes may be unsafe, and unglazed ceramic is almost certainly unsafe (the unglazed surface can harbor bacteria, andthe coffee itself may not be hot enough to kill them).
